Anxious morning

We're rather anxious at the moment. Little B wasn't at the Pub yesterday. He usually tells people if he's not going to be there, but nobody knows any reason for his absence. It was a bit of a dampener on the afternoon as we worried in case something should be wrong. Little B is a stickler to routine as this is not like him.

So this morning I ring him. No answer. I try both land line & mobile. No answer.

I try ringing the Pub as they had intended to ring in the evening if he hadn't turned up. No. They hadn't been able to locate him. And he hadn't appeared in the evening.

The full scale hunt is on now. We're all telling ourselves he's probably fine. Just forgot to tell someone.

Meanwhile we've rung the hospital. He's not in A&E. Nan, Big B's wife, is popping around. Little B's car is outside his flat. She can see that much from their house. Lin, PD's wife, is also on her way to the flat. I just hope all is well. It's worrying when someone is in their 70s, a bit frail & lives on his own.

Bad news. They found him dead in his bed.
